Hello! I was going back and forth about whether or not to post in relactation or the pregnant group. My son is 7.5 months old and I am currently ~9 weeks pregnant. A couple of weeks ago, I got the worst food poisoning and my supply took a huge hit (likely from dehydration and being unable to eat much). Additionally, my pregnancy nausea was debilitating and added to me not being able to each much. I have been breastfeeding twice a day and pumping regularly through the day (I work full time so my only opportunity to breastfeed is in the morning and at night). My pumping schedule is every 3 hours for 30 mins and I have done a few power pumps recently. I’ve increased my hydration almost back to where I was at previously (also difficult at times because of the nausea). Tomorrow I am getting a new breast pump to see if that’ll help. Just looking for some advice if y’all have any…I used to produce so much and now I can barely make 1x bottles-worth for my son in about 1-1.5 days. It is heartbreaking. I only have 1 week of freezer breastmilk on hand.

Please be careful pumping while pregnant as it has risks that you want to discuss with your doctor…but please keep in mind that your supply will drastically decrease until baby is born as your body is preparing for the new baby and milk supply will decrease and begin turning back into colostrum as time goes on. I just want you yo understand what is happening right now and a new pump or anything for pumping will most likely not help and would highly encourage you to speak with your doctor if you have not already.
